        "summary": "PT Dian Swastatika Sentosa Tbk (DSSA) plans to invest Rp 30-35 trillion over the next five years to develop seven geothermal sites across Indonesia, aiming to achieve a total installed capacity of 780 MW and position itself as a world-class player in the sector. This initiative aligns with the government's energy transition agenda, leveraging Indonesia's vast 40% share of global geothermal reserves to reduce reliance on coal-fired power plants and enhance renewable energy contributions. DSSA is also advancing sustainable practices, including solar panel production and partnerships with global firms, to ensure long-term operational efficiency and lower carbon emissions.",
        "content": "<p>PT Dian Swastatika Sentosa Tbk (DSSA) plans to allocate an investment\nof Rp 30-Rp 35 trillion to develop seven geothermal locations over the\nnext five years. This step is part of the company\u2019s ambition to become a\nworld-class geothermal player. \u201cWe have seven geothermal locations with\na total installed capacity of 780 megawatts,\u201d said DSSA\u2019s Vice President\nDirector, Lokita Prasetya, during a Media Gathering in Jakarta on\nThursday (2\/4). In detail, she explained that the seven locations are\nspread across three sites in West Java, one in Jambi, one in West\nSumatra, one in Central Sulawesi, and one in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT).\nMeanwhile, DSSA Director Daniel Cahya emphasised that investments in\nthis sector have a measured risk profile. The capital return schemes for\nDSSA\u2019s geothermal projects have been protected using US dollar\ndenominations, thus shielding the company from rupiah exchange rate\nfluctuations. On the market potential side, Daniel stated that Indonesia\nhas opportunities on par with, or even surpassing, the Philippines,\nwhich is currently home to Energy Development Corporation (EDC), the\nworld\u2019s second-largest geothermal company. \u201cWe hope to develop these\nlocations and collaborate on a much larger scale in the future,\u201d he\nsaid. DSSA targets a position comparable to EDC on a global level. This\nambition aligns with the government\u2019s energy transition agenda, which is\npushing for the phase-down of coal-fired steam power plants (PLTUs) and\nincreasing the share of renewable energy in the national electricity\nmix. Geothermal is a strategic choice given Indonesia\u2019s position in the\nPacific Ring of Fire, rich in volcanic activity. Indonesia is estimated\nto hold around 40 percent of the world\u2019s geothermal reserves, but only a\nsmall portion has been utilised so far. Focus on Long-Term Renewable\nEnergy Development Management at DSSA emphasised that the energy sector\nremains the foundation of the company\u2019s business, with a focus on\nefficient and sustainable operations. This strategy is realised through\nstrengthening sustainable mining practices, from increasing energy\nefficiency to integrated environmental management. This step has been\nimplemented through the acceleration of operational fleet\nelectrification (EV fleets) at PT Borneo Indobara (BIB). This initiative\nnot only cuts operational costs but also pioneers the transition to\ngreen mining in the mining sector. With the adoption of this technology,\nthe company ensures operations remain relevant to future energy needs\nwhile actively reducing carbon emissions. DSSA is gradually\nstrengthening its New Renewable Energy (EBT) portfolio, particularly in\nthe geothermal and solar power sectors, to create a more balanced energy\nmix. This step is strategic given that Indonesia possesses around 40\npercent of the global geothermal potential, which is the most reliable\ngreen baseload energy source in the long term. This commitment is\nrealised through the operation of a 1 GW integrated solar panel factory\nin the Kendal Industrial Estate (KEK) and the development of geothermal\nprojects through PT DSSR Daya Mas Sakti. With a total potential of 440\nMW, the company is now accelerating exploration in several strategic\nareas\u2014from Cisolok and Cipanas in West Java, to Sumatra, Flores, and\nCentral Sulawesi. To strengthen technical and operational capabilities,\nDSSA has also forged strategic partnerships with PT FirstGen Geothermal\nIndonesia, a subsidiary of Energy Development Corporation (EDC). \u201cOur\napproach is to maintain the reliability of current energy supply while\ngradually developing lower-emission energy sources as part of the\ncompany\u2019s long-term strategy. In line with that, we are also\ncontinuously strengthening operational excellence through the\nimplementation of greener, more efficient, and sustainable\npractices\u2014from efficiency improvements, optimisation of energy and\nresource use, operational digitalisation, to measurable reductions in\nemissions and waste,\u201d said Lokita Prasetya.<\/p>",
